The Aubrey is a modern izakaya and a feature venue at the Mandarin Oriental in Central. The bar is charmingly decorated, offering beautiful environs and intimate setting, perfect for date nights and special occasions. Service is very good, drinks are expertly mixed and food orders...are delightfully prepared in the kitchen. Opening hours are 12pm to 12am daily, reservations highly recommended. Everything ordered during our most recent meal was very good. Shishito peppers and truffle croquettes were great starters. We also enjoyed the 'New Style' Hamachi Tataki & Yellowtail Sashimi orders, these were delectable raw servings. Lastly, we enjoyed a perfectly grilled A4 Miyazaki Tenderloin from the Robata menu. This was another very good meal experience at The Aubrey, a place that we always leave thinking about when we can return.More

Marrying Japanese and Western cuisine, this restaurant is a curio.🏺 Its menu puts a strong emphasis on izakaya but feel-good food. From the raw and seared section of the menu, we chose the Asparagus avocado roll, Hamachi tataki, and bbq tonkatsu beef rib. It’s a...perfect combination of ingredients cooked and prepared properly to bring out the ultimate gastronomical experience. The dinner was ended by delightful dessert Chocolate & sakura, Aomori and Orin from the seasonal cocktail menu. Each dishes cooked in perfection and fabulous to our palate! Beautiful to the eyes and satisfying to our belly, all aesthetically coming together.🥰 Thanks to The Aubrey for their great hospitality on my special day!More

Newly opened during Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hong Kong’s 60th anniversary, The Aubrey is a bar restaurant inspired by Japonisme and the art style’s influential figure Aubrey Beardsley. Online reservation is straightforward. The restaurant is spacious and well-ventilated, though a bit busy to the eyes. While...the different areas are crowded with drinkers early in the evening, it is obviously understaffed! Even though there is no line at the door, the wait at the reception is 8 minutes, and the young receptionist in slow motion clearly does not welcome her guests! One would have higher expectations for a 5-star hotel! Luckily, the manager and servers busy running around in the dining room are helpful and accommodating, but they can only do so much. We are thankful to have Nicole taking care of our table and our special needs. To match the Japonisme theme, the bar offers a unique list of shochu-based cocktails. The Japanese cuisine also has a fusion touch to it. However, the quality is a bit inconsistent. While the soggy and lukewarm Agedashi Tofu (HK$158) is a failed attempt at the izakaya favorite, the crunchy yet tender Charcoal Chicken Karaage (HK$158) definitely surprises the palate. Highly recommend the trendy A4 Kagoshima Wagyu Sando (HK$678) – the thick wagyu cutlet cushioned between the golden toasts is crispy, juicy, and flavorful!More

What to say, a charming bar where I was spoiled from the first second I entered. The super-prepared and friendly staff, formal but also very close to the customer. I had the pleasure of drinking three cocktails, one better than the other. The Tori which...is their twist on the negroni literally blew my mind. In addition, the venue is extremely beautiful, perhaps one of the most beautiful I've seen in Hong Kong!

The environment was great but the service was rude and impolite. It is because I have remarked a birthday writing on dessert and I reminded again during entry, the receptionist said “What (“下”)? I have already remarked.” And then, at last I didn’t see the...birthday writing on the dessert I ordered. Moreover, some staff are not willing to take photos, and some were purple in face when I asked them to take photos. Overall, it’s a bad experience to celebrate birthday at this restaurant and was disappointed with the brand of Mandarin Oriental.More

The service staffs were very friendly, especially Devender who had been taking good care of our table. The...food offering was also a surprise and of very good value of money! The food portions were generous and the tastes were overall delicious. The sashimi and sushi platter were unexpectedly good as well. Last but not least, I would like to thank Chef Joe for arranging soufflé which is not on the menu for my friend’s birthday. Although we are not fans of soufflé, we all love it a lot! Aubrey definitely has the best brunch and best soufflé in town!More

Leslie, Justin and Laje are the best!!! If u plan to pay a visit here, Leslie will give you the best recommendation for ur drink. And I am sure the team will create a unforgettable night for you. It is with great pleasure that I...find myself returning to ur bar once again. After my first exceptional experience, I had no doubt that this establishment would continue to impress, and I was not disappointed. Upon stepping into the bar, I was greeted with the same warm and inviting atmosphere that had left a lasting impression on me before. The ambiance was a seamless blend of sophistication and comfort, setting the stage for another unforgettable evening. The tasteful décor, complemented by soft lighting, instantly put me at ease, and I knew I was in for a treat. Leslie, Justin and Laje remain their most remarkable asset. Their unwavering dedication to providing top-notch service is truly commendable. The moment I took my seat, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, and they remembered my name from my previous visit, adding a personalized touch that made me feel like a valued guest. The bartenders' expertise shone through once again as they crafted a plethora of inventive cocktails that catered to a diverse range of palates. I particularly appreciated their willingness to accommodate my specific preferences and create a bespoke cocktail just for me. It was evident that they viewed mixology as an art form, as each drink was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Moreover, the attention to detail in every aspect of the bar's operations was praiseworthy. From the selection of glassware to the choice of garnishes, no aspect was overlooked. The commitment to using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients further elevated the overall experience. Beyond the exceptional beverages, the bar's commitment to providing top-tier entertainment was evident. The live music performances were captivating, providing a perfect backdrop for a night of relaxation and enjoyment. The artists displayed remarkable talent and were adept at engaging the audience, creating an atmosphere of shared celebration.More
